At the castle, several contestants are selected to be “Traitors” who have to stay undetected and eliminate the “Faithfuls” during roundtable meetings to claim the prize. However, if the Faithfuls manage to banish all the Traitors, all the remaining contestants will win the cash instead.

The second season originally debuted in July last year in New Zealand, before it was released in the UK in June 2025. A UK celebrity version is set to be released later this year.
